WEST AUSTRALIANA Aboriginal

  Written specifically to maximise understanding of an extremely complex issue, this book examines the reasons why the policy of assimilation and the removal of Aboriginal children was introduced and maintained for so long. It reveals some of the long term effects of the policy and shows why the stolen generations are still a part.

In 1937, the Australian government adopted an official policy of removing Aboriginal children from their families, a policy that envisaged the ultimate disappearance of the Aboriginal race. Although this policy was replaced after WWII with assimilation, much of the underlying purpose remained.
